I need to permanently bond together threaded male and female 316 SS rods. I
use Loctite 271 Threadlocker to do it but, for complicated reasons, it is
not working out very well. Do you know of any other product that offers a
stronger bond?
(welding or staking of the rods are not options...)
Thanks.

Stainless steel is one of the least effected metals when bonded with
anaerobic adhesives because the surface is very passive. To get any kind
of high strength you must use primer. The problem is if you prime both
parts and try to wick in 290 it may set up before completely wicking in.
If you use a strong thick loctite like 272, 277 or 620 you may not even
get the parts together before it starts to set. Depending on the size of
your parts, how they are being assembled, and how they are being used,
will determine the best application method. Bottom line- you must
experiment.
